- Abstract
Bamboo can serve as a mean to achieve the UN framed Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and spur sustainable development. It belongs to the grass family Poaceae (Gramineae) and becomes a significant part of forest ecology. The main objective of this research is to explore the bamboo sector in India by analyzing the three dimensions of this sector: Ecology, Ecosystem, and Economy (3Es). The Covid-19 Pandemic has stagnated the progress of this sector, which can be revived with strategies suggested in this research paper. This exploratory and qualitative research uses a conceptual approach to develop models based on data collection and analysis. Through secondary data, literature review, and in-depth interviews of experts, this study explored the 3Es and integrated them into the 3Ps of the Triple Bottom Line: Profit, Planet, and People, which is a concept proposed by John Elkington to measure sustainable development. This research paper proposed a bamboo Triple Bottom Line. Based on the collected data, a universal four-stage operational model was identified for methodically harnessing the potential of this resource.
